Abstract
Computer simulation for reverse recovery characteristics of a planar diode revealed that local heating occurred at the corner of the anode even when a surge voltage across the diode was lower than its static breakdown voltage. Analysis for origin of local heating resulted in a design principle for improving destruction immunity of the diode. Diodes designed according to the present principle showed excellent destruction immunity under high dIrr/dt condition.
